Twitter pisses off NPR

Indeed it is. It also has, as the Twatter link you provided crudely pointed out, drama, comedy and sports programming along with arts and science documentary productions. Best of all, it broadcasts throughout the country in both official languages, French and English.
It is produced by Canadians for Canadians. I support the CBC and regard it a treasured national cultural institution. I would willingly defend it with extreme prejudice.

I'd go so far as to humbly suggest that Elon Musk is not to be trusted.

He is turning into a caricature. He is obviously a smart guy, but I think is starting to love publicity about himself a bit too much.

He's a promoter. They like publicity.
But back to the subject at hand...What is Musk's ultimate goal here? You know he has one.

Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

Please love yourself.

Money.
And with any luck to spend it to go and live on Mars.

I get the first one. How can you data mine this event and what are you looking for?

I don't think it's any one event per se. I think he can now get a first-hand look at common consumer behavior, and how social media attention actually works. That kind of information would be valuable for just about anybody.

Imagine one day "@npr" on Twitter is someone or something other than the National Public Radio:
https://www.reuters.com/technology/musk-threatens-reassign-npr-twitter-account-npr-says-2023-05-03/
Musk, in an email to an NPR reporter, asked about its engagement with Twitter, the public broadcaster said.
“So is NPR going to start posting on Twitter again, or should we reassign @NPR to another company?” NPR quoted Musk as saying.
“Our policy is to recycle handles that are definitively dormant,” he said in another email. “Same policy applies to all accounts. No special treatment for NPR.”Twitter should have the right to do whatever it wants with its namespaces, barring any contractual obligation. If a reader is too careless to verify whether a tweet by a Twitter @ handle is or is not from the person or organization he thinks it is from, well too bad.
